Basic Principles:
Make no mistake, we are not a wushu school (which
tend to be more gymnastically-based), nor do we train or teach to
strictly perform and/or win trophies. Preservation of life and
practicality for a balanced approach to all situations is our
emphasis. Self-defense is a life art unto itself and must be
ingrained into our awareness as a regular part of our daily lives.
 |
Real World Self-Defense
A culmination of time-tested methods that have
protected individuals for thousands of years from empty handed attack
and weapon wielding aggressors. We
train you to avoid all forms of violence and fight only when absolutely
necessary.
|
|
Exceptional Health and Fitness
As seen above, robust, radiant health will be developed
from the moment you begin and continue throughout your life if training
is consistent.
|
|
Internal Cultivation
Development of strong spirit, refined mental
activity, and more controlled use of ones innate bodily energy.
Qi ("chee")development, control, and application is an essential
component to oursystem of martial arts. |
